About COAW
'Chronicles of Another World' is a dark fantasy and psychological thriller inspired by Old Norse mythology. It delves into how the consequences of ancient mistakes continue to shape the present, weaving together modern reality with a hidden, ancient world governed by spiritual forces.The concept for this comic arose from my passion for mythology and storytelling. Drawing from various cultural legends, I sought to craft a unique narrative that blends dark fantasy with psychological tension, exploring the clash between ancient powers and modern-day challenges.
